itemsauce
by muricans
itemsauce colors item names and tooltips by rarity on Fabric, so players can tell item tiers apart at a glance.
What it does
Items are grouped by rarity, and each rarity gets its own tooltip color. The colors are set in a configuration file that is created on the first launch, and each color follows the name color code wiki. Item names are matched against the keywords listed in the config, so an item can be placed in a tier by its Minecraft id. The Minecraft id of any item is shown in-game with F3+H.
The mod runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it and players may join a server without installing it. It requires Fabric API and is published only for Fabric, with 1.0.2 for 1.21.1 as the latest file, released 2025-06-03. The code is open source under the MIT License.
